The Farmhouse-Structural Repairs in the Attic

Roofing an Old House

Roof Construction Begins

Getting a new roof was next on the list. The shingles hadn't been replaced since the 70's. There were several places that had been patched and water damage was a factor in several places inside the house.
The house had major structural damage and one of the most important jobs was adding support beams in the attic.  An exterior wall had begun to separate from the house and I'm sure it just a matter of time before the front section of the house would've collapsed. 

Covering The Roof

Just as the carpenters had replaced all the rotten wood the weather reports came in that a hurricane was headed our way.  Hurricane Isabel hit NC that summer as a Cat 2...I was very happy to have found three huge tarps to cover my naked roof and even happier that we didn't sustain any damage from the storm.

New Shingles on the Farmhouse

I chose gray architectural shingles and I was oh so happy when the work was finally finished.  If my old house could talk she would've taken a sigh of relief at this point.  Even though the renovations had just started the old house was beginning to come alive.

Any kind of home renovation breathes new life into the home. And if the budget is limited then attic will be the dearest place to start renovation work by doing certain farmhouse structural repairs. Most homeowners completely overlook it, until it becomes a serious issue. I think this is not the right way to make the durable and functional. In fact a home consumes more energy due to the existence of some structural issues in the attic. Hence, if we want to make our home long-lasting and energy efficient within in a small budget, then we should do farmhouse structural repairs in the attic by hiring a professional home renovator.
